Juventus aiming to replace Zhegrova with young Spaniard
Juventus have reportedly identified Chuki as the right profile to fill in for Edon Zhegrova, who could be on his way out of the club.
The Bianconeri had a poor summer transfer campaign, as none of their four arrivals managed to cement themselves as regular starters, perhaps with the exception of Jonathan David, who only did so due to the absence of the injured Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik.
Like the Canadian striker, Zhegrova enjoyed a memorable stint at LOSC Lille, but he hasnât been able to replicate his exploits in Turin.
Juventus set sights on Chuki as they seek Zhegrova replacement
The Kosovar suffered a serious injury last season, and while he had already been clinically cleared upon his arrival at Juventus, he has yet to regain his optimal form.
This season, Zhegrova has made 21 appearances across all competitions, but only one as a starter. He has yet to register a goal or an assist, and wasted a glorious chance in extra time against Galatasaray, leading to Juveâs Champions League elimination.
Therefore, many sources in the Italian media believe Juventus are ready to listen to offers for the struggling winger.
According to Tuttosport via , the Serie A giants have already set their sights on a potential replacement for Zhegrova, as they eye a move for an exciting young Spaniard.
